Important notes
- Note these are minimum acceptable admission requirements. We strongly encourage you to pursue additional preparation in math and science. In particular, we recommend you make every effort to take physics in high school.
- Mathematically, both the Marian and IUPUI programs begin with Calculus I. If you are not prepared to study calculus in your first semester of college, the DDEP program is not a good fit for you.
- Being accepted to Marian University does not guarantee acceptance into the DDEP. A student whose scores fall below these minimum requirements still be accepted by Marian, but may not into the DDEP program.
